How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot in the bottom-left corner of the solid triangle: slant up to the top guide line, slant down to the bottom line, then go back along the bottom to the start.
- Trace the dashed triangles in the first half of the row; each new triangle begins at the corner where the previous one ended.
- Continue alone to the end of the row, keeping the tips touching the top line and the bases on the bottom line.
What this worksheet teaches
A triangle combines two diagonal strokes with a horizontal base and three deliberate stops. Copying a triangle is usually achieved around age five, a little after the square, so a traced half followed by a free half suits this age well. The up-and-down slants are the same movements as in A, V, W and the numeral 4, and closing each triangle exactly at its starting corner trains accuracy. Shared corners also train judging width by eye.
Variation to try
Mountain range: your child adds a little snow cap to every triangle they drew without dashes, then finds the tallest mountain and checks that it touches the top line.
